An enterprise produces two products A and B. The total cost (in Naira) of producing \( Q_{A} \) units of A and \( Q_{B} \) units of B is\n\[ C = 10\,000 + 4Q_{A} + 6Q_{B} + 0.02 Q_{A}^{2} + 0.03 Q_{B}^{2} + 0.01 Q_{A} Q_{B} \].\nThe selling prices are ₦50 per unit of A and ₦80 per unit of B. Find the combination of non‑negative integer quantities \((Q_{A},Q_{B})\) that yields zero profit (break‑even) with the smallest possible total output \( Q_{A}+Q_{B} \). State the quantities and the total output.

Answer Options

A. Q_A = 0, Q_B = 150; minimum total output = 150 units
